Money in the heavens

Sweet Potato, who had a clear understanding of things, smiled and said:

"One frame in the mountains means a thousand years in the world."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said:

"Have those people in Tingchao Pavilion climbed to the third floor?"

Hongshu shook his head and said softly:

"Not yet, everyone in Wutong Garden is betting on this. I bet that there is still a year and a half left, and I bet six taels of silver. Green Ant and the others think it will be later."

Xu Fengnian got into the carriage and said:

"Then I'll bet ten taels of silver that the white fox face will go to the third floor within a year. As for the other people, I think the shopping mall must have other arrangements and won't let them stay in Tingchao Pavilion all the time!"

Hongshu kneaded the shoulders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xu Fengnian leaned on her chest, opened the chess box, rubbed a chess piece with his fingers, closed his eyes and said softly:

"More emphasis."

Hongshu, whose natural body fragrance will fade away in winter, snorted, but glanced at the blue bird in Wutong Garden that was most at odds with him.

Qingniao remained silent, just looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's eyebrows, full of energy.

The thoughts of the two personal maids were all silent.

Two hundred cavalry entered Liangzhou, and the people on the main city road dispersed voluntarily. Xu Fengnian stopped the carriage midway and asked Hongshu to buy some from a very affectionate soybean shop to satisfy his craving. The cooked meat here is the most delicious, and the beef is the best in Beiliang. ,secret The square sauce is second to none. The ingredients such as yellow soy sauce, cinnamon, ginger and star anise are placed in just the right amount. Not to mention other things, just the bottle of dark soy sauce on the table makes many diners want to take advantage of it after eating the sauced meat, but they have never succeeded. .

In the past, Xu Fengnian and Li Hanlin, together with Yan Chi, gathered several bad friends to have a feast here. Li Hanlin was even more domineering and cruel, and almost moved the entire century-old shop back. If you intercede, the people in the city would not be able to eat this authentic food. Of course, the main thing is to take care of their own tricky tastes.

"Haha, I didn't expect the prince to return to Beiliang today!"

Xu Fengnian, who was waiting for the beef, saw Shang Yi walking slowly in the distance. Then the two of them saw an old beggar in the distance shivering against the wall. His face was ashen, he was hungry and cold, and he was not far from death.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and the roads are freezing to death!"

Rich people all like winter. Even if they can't afford the charcoal-consuming earthworms at home, they can wear comfortable and luxurious mink furs, which makes traveling more dignified. But all the poor people in the world are most afraid of this season.

Then Shang Yi looked at the little girl next to the old beggar and the two monks, one big and one small. The big monk was a Tantric sect. He was wearing a red cassock and had a haggard face. When he walked to the foot of the wall, he saw the dying old beggar. Show compassion.

As for the little girl and the little monk, Shang Yi knew that they were the daughters and apprentices of Li Dangxin of the Liangchan Temple, Li Dongxi and Wu Nanbei.

At this time, Shang Yi also walked to the old beggar's side. He sighed and put his right hand on the old beggar's shoulder. He did not dislike the dirt and stench on the old beggar's body.

"Sacrifice the Body!"

Shang Yi thought silently in his heart and used the Buddhist martial arts that he had originally created to imitate a game in his previous life!

The Technique of Sacrifice is not a desperate martial art like the Dafa of Sacrifice, but contains the compassionate meaning of the Buddha who sacrificed his body to feed tigers and cut meat to feed eagles. It can transfer the pain and suffering of others to oneself, thereby saving all sentient beings!

Even if Shang Yi is willing to pay the price of falling to a lower level, he can even resurrect the recently deceased, just like resurrecting the master Lin Shao in the world of Duoercha.

The little girl, the little novice monk, and the middle-aged Tantric monk all realized that what Shang Yi was performing was a Buddhist method, and they were shocked in their hearts.

This kind of Buddhist Dharma that can sacrifice oneself to save others is the Dharma that truly saves all sentient beings!

Xu Fengnian had Dahuang Ting at this time, so he could naturally detect a hint of Buddhist mystery from Shang Yi. After all, Princess Wu Su of Beiliang also believed in Buddhism, so the King of Beiliang and Xu Fengnian also believed in Buddhism.

Even though Wang Zhonglou told him about Dahuang Ting, Xu Fengnian still felt that Buddhism was more lovely than Taoism. After all, a so-called Taoist immortal on Longhu Mountain set up a trap to kill his mother!

After a while, the old beggar who was about to die recovered from all his injuries, and his body even became stronger, able to survive the cold winter.

"God, you are truly a God. Thank you for saving my life!"

The old beggar didn't know anything about Buddhism or Taoism. He just saw that Shang Yi didn't look like a monk or a Taoist priest, so he called him a god.

Fortunately, Shang Yi blocked the surrounding sounds in advance, otherwise the old beggar's shout would have attracted the attention of countless people.

"Amitabha, the donor's Dharma is so profound that I am ashamed of myself!"

The middle-aged Tantric monk clasped his hands together and said.

He is an ascetic from Mount Landa.

The young novice also clasped his hands together and said:

"It is better for a donor to save one life than to build a seven-level pagoda!"

The little girl was more lively. She looked at Shang Yi curiously and asked:

"Who are you? Why are Buddhist methods more magical than my father's?"

Others would only make fun of the little girl for being too ignorant, worshiping her father too much, and even insulting others.

But Shang Yi knew very well that the little girl was the daughter of Li Dangxin, the number one Zen sect in the world and the "living living Buddha" of Liangchan Temple. What she said was not just an insult, but a compliment!

Compared with Li Dangxin, Buddhism is more miraculous. Doesn’t it mean that it surpasses Li Dangxin and makes Buddhism the best in the world?

Shang Yi smiled modestly and said:

"No, no, I am just relying on the magical means inherited from my ancestors. It is not self-enlightenment. It is not comparable to the living Buddha!"

The little girl has a child's nature after all. Seeing that the old beggar was no longer worried about his life, she turned around and started talking to the little novice monk.

However, Xu Fengnian also came up and said with a smile:

"Lord Shang, your methods are extraordinary. I didn't expect you to know Buddhist methods, and it's even more mysterious!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"It's just a legacy from our ancestors. The way of cultivation still requires self-enlightenment after all. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out of the barriers, and you will inevitably fall into the lower realms when you reach high and deep."

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he was thoughtful. Then he looked at Li Dongxi again, feeling surprised.

He liked that familiar girl whom he didn't know very well. When he and Lao Huang went to Langya County and were at their lowest, they happened to meet this little girl who had run away from home. She claimed to be a heroine in the world and still had some left in her. It was already very pitiful to get some broken silver and copper plates.

After getting acquainted with Xu Feng, they generously treated each other to a big meal of fish and meat, and then they were completely penniless. The three of them lived in poverty together for a month, fighting and stealing together, which was quite interesting. , she was usually the one who looked out for the wind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lao Huang took risks, and when they were escaping, little girl with two braids felt wind at her feet.

Finally, she said she wanted to go to the south to see the sea, and they separated. Xu Fengnian only knew her surname was Li, and she liked to call herself Miss Li. If she was called Miss Li, she would be happy for several days even if she was hungry.

Xu Fengnian did not expect that this female hero Li was actually the daughter of the living Buddha Li Dangxin. No wonder she was accompanied by a young novice monk.

At this time, Li Dongxi was teaching the little novice monk:

"Stupid Nanbei, how many times have I told you?! You can call me Dongdong or Xixi, but you are not allowed to call me Dongdong! Dongdong, Dongdong, isn't that unpleasant?!"

Wearing a green robe and a light red cassock, the young monk has red lips and white teeth. He has a very handsome appearance. Even Xu Fengnian three years ago could tell that he has a unique look. Just listen to the little monk say weakly:

"Dude, I think your name sounds pretty nice."

Miss Li, who no longer had two braids pointing upward, stretched out her hand to twist the little monk's ears and said angrily:

"Can you try shouting again?"

The little monk didn't know how to change the rudder when the wind came, so he said stupidly:

"thing."

The little girl was so angry that she jumped up and hit the little monk who was taller than her on the head:

"So stupid! A thousand times ten thousand times stupider than Xu Fengnian!"

The corners of Xu Fengnian's mouth curled up.

Look, there are still people in the world who are discerning.

The little monk murmured:

"Monks don't lie. I call you plum and you hit me again."

The little girl asked angrily:

"Then let me ask you, can monks like girls?! Monks have to quit sex, do you understand?!"

The little monk was not really stupid. He looked sideways at the sky and pretended not to hear.

The little girl turned her head and looked at the old beggar who had died without eating the meat buns, looking a little depressed.

The young monk whispered:

"We didn't have any money after buying the buns. I didn't bring much with me when I sneaked out, and you spent money..."

After all, he didn't dare to say the word "lavish".

The little girl got angry and said angrily:

"I told you that my father's private money was hidden in the beggar under the bed. Don't you know how to steal more?! Why aren't you stupid?"

The young monk felt guilty and said:

"If you steal too much, go back to the temple and master will punish me to buy rouge and gouache for your mother."

This work is uploaded by the organizer~~

When the little girl heard about rouge and gouache, she became interested and no longer cared about the title, her eyes rolled.

When the young monk saw her like this, he quickly said:

"I really have no money."

The little girl sighed.

Shang Yi and Xu Fengnian, who were standing behind them, looked at each other and smiled, and then Xu Fengnian said:

"Miss Li, do you want rouge and gouache? I'll buy it for you. The largest rouge shop in Liangzhou City has the 'Green Swallow Branch' that is used by the imperial concubines. It's not expensive. I don't have to spend any money to buy it."

The little girl turned around suddenly and saw Xu Fengnian who was no longer unkempt, wearing linen clothes and straw sandals. She didn't recognize her for a moment. After looking at her for a long time, she jumped hard and said in surprise: "Xu Fengnian?!"

Xu Fengnian mentioned the soy sauce beef and said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

The little girl patted Xiao He's pointed chest, finally relieved, and said with a bright smile: "I remember you said you were from Xiliang, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find you when I arrived in Liangzhou."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Don't worry, it will be harder to find me than to find me when you get here."

The little girl didn't think deeply, she was just happy.

The young monk had no reaction when he saw Xu Fengnian. He was just worried about what to do with the cage of meat buns. Of course he couldn't eat them himself, and Li Zi didn't like them either.

Just when Xu Fengnian was about to take Xiao Nizi to the rouge shop that treated her like a jackal, tiger or leopard, she subconsciously wanted to unsheath the long knife on her waist.

The middle-aged tantric monk just took one step forward.

The monk asked in a difficult accent: "Are you Xu Fengnian? The eldest son of King Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Who are you?"

The monk said in a calm tone: "The poor monk came from Landa Mountain in the Western Region and wants to invite His Highness to go to Landa Mountain."

Shang Yi was not worried about the tantric monk taking action. He also knew that Xu Fengnian and Li Dongxi had not seen each other for a long time, so he had no intention of disturbing them. He also bought a portion of beef with soy sauce and returned to Tingchao Pavilion.

Compared to Meng Qi and the others who took the time to read and gain insights, Shang Yi was much more relaxed. After all, his level was too high. He could read the books in Chao Pavilion faster and understand them more deeply!

Therefore, he had plenty of time to visit Liangzhou City and taste the special snacks here. Of course, Shang Yi also had the idea of ​​​​bringing it back to Ruan Yushu to taste, so Shang Yi often came out. This is why Xu Fengnian didn't feel that Shang Yi was waiting specially. own reasons.

However, before leaving, Shang Yi still sent a message to Xu Fengnian:

"Every household in Beiliang is dressed in white and plain clothes, which is why there are many beggars, young and old, and even homeless people who cannot survive outside. This is what your Xu family owes to the people of Beiliang! What's more, let them live a better life. It is also a great merit, which is good for the people, Beiliang, the Xu family, and the princess!"

In fact, he had wanted to tell the King of Northern Liang about this matter for a long time, but saying it directly would have the effect of slapping Xu Xiao in the face, so Shang Yi endured it and waited for Xu Fengnian to come back and tell him.

Shang Yi has been wandering around Liangzhou City these days, not only looking for food and leisure, but also because he can't stand the road and is freezing to death!

After all, they have received nine years of compulsory education and grew up under the red flag. After all, they grew up in a different environment. Although they can integrate into the world, they still cannot tolerate some things.

Shang Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, saying it was too naive, but to put it another way, didn't it mean that he didn't forget his original intention and was firm in his Taoism?

Returning to Tingchao Pavilion, Shang Yi handed the soy sauce beef to his servants and asked them to cut it into small pieces and send it to Ruan Yushu in Tingchao Pavilion. Then he thought about the tantric monk just now.

At this time, Shang Yi realized that this was the fate of the man from Landuo Mountain who took a fancy to Xu Fengnian and wanted to practice double cultivation with Xu Fengnian, the prince of Northern Liang!

If Shang Yi hadn't known the true method of Avalokitesvara's practice, he would have doubted that the path of the Bodhisattva of Joy in the real world was really inherited by Avalokitesvara!

······

Time flies by like a flash, and soon another month has passed. Xu Xiao's preparations have been made. Even Xu Fengnian's second sister Xu Weixiong and eldest sister Xu Zhihu have returned to the palace.

The princess's resurrection was so important that Xu Xiao's children naturally wanted to participate in witnessing it.

However, they will not follow Xu Fengnian to Qingzhou, but will wait for Xu Fengnian's return in the back mountain of the palace.

The group was ready to go, and Shang Yi, Ruan Yushu and others were also ready to set off with Xu Fengnian.

But this time, Xu Fengnian actually brought Jiang Ni with him, and he was accompanied by Shu Sha, Qingniao, Feng Ziying and an old Taoist priest Wei Shuyang, who were almost the same as in the original work.

Also sitting in the carriage was an old man with a broken arm who was dozing off. His thin body was wrapped in that shabby sheepskin fur. When he was dozing, he would pick his nose excrement with his fingers, and then quietly flick it away with his fingers.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode out of the city on a white horse with two swords. Behind him were more than a hundred light cavalry led by a burly general. However, the carriage in front was unremarkable. The groom was a delicate woman. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was riding a horse. There must be no one there. Qualified to sit in the carriage.

Shang Yi and others also followed the cavalry, and Meng Qi sighed:

"Tsk, tsk, the battle is really huge! Aren't you worried that King Jing'an will interfere with it?"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"It's not like you don't know the situation in Beiliang. The prince of Beiliang travels openly and openly. If there are fewer people, it will make Prince Jing'an and the court feel that something is wrong, so they can conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Now it's just that the dandy prince wants to travel around the world and practice martial arts. On the contrary, it will lead them astray."

Meng Qi shook his head and sighed:

"The struggle for power in the imperial court is really troublesome. It's not as pure as practicing martial arts!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Actually, they're all the same, it just depends on which path you take!

Fighting in the arena and adjusting yin and yang in the court are all ways of cultivating the mind. However, most people forget their original intention and go astray, so it is difficult to achieve success! "

"Hey, what you said about cultivation is quite interesting. It's much more down-to-earth than Qi Xuanzhen, who only practices some kind of heavenly method on Longhu Mountain!"

The curtains of the carriage on the side were lifted, revealing the old man talking inside.

Seeing this, Shang Yi saluted and said:

"Senior is overly praised. Compared with Lu Zu, who passed through the Tianmen without entering, there is still a gap!"

Seeing this, Li Chungang raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's interesting. You are not afraid of the sky or the earth. If you are countless times better than Xu Xiaozi in practicing swordsmanship, why don't you open a business building? Why don't you practice swordsmanship with me!"

As he said this, he also looked at Jiang Zhiwei in the team!

Li Chungang had long noticed that Jiang Zhiwei had a clear sword mind and was an excellent swordsman. In less than twenty years of age, her swordsmanship was no weaker than that of most swordsmen in the world!

Shang Yi shook his head and smiled:

"Thank you, senior, but this junior already has his own path. If he is half-hearted, he may accomplish nothing in the future!"

Li Chungang rolled his eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be people in the world who would reject him! (End of chapter)
